Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 273 Li Zhao Leaves

Inside the city, the three of them walked on the bluestone streets, peaceful and tranquil.

Soon they arrived at the military camp in the city.

At the military camp, Ling Yunxiao waited for a long time.

He was standing in front of the army, giving a speech. When he saw Jiang Yue and the other two, he summoned all the generals in the army.

In the military camp inside the city, Li Zhao, an official appointed by the imperial court, had recovered a lot after several days of recuperation.

In front of the army, Li Zhao opened the imperial edict and began to read it.

Ling Yunxiao took the lead and knelt on one knee to receive the order, followed by Xia Yuanchen and Zhang Yan. Behind him were a group of generals with military positions.

"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."

"General Ling Yunxiao, you have made great contributions to our rule. In just a few days, you have recaptured our Youlan City. This is a blessing for the Republic of China. I am very pleased. You have made an indelible contribution to the capture of Youlan this time. You are awarded the title of First-Rank General and General Pingbei, which is a special merit!"

Ling Yunxiao had read the imperial edict in advance and just listened carefully with his fists clasped.

"Xia Yuanchen is extremely brave, a good son like his father, and has great potential. I will now confer him the title of Third Rank General!"

Xia Yuanchen's pure smile was mixed with hatred for his country and family.

"Zhang Yan is worthy of the important task. As the deputy general of the general, he has done his duty wholeheartedly and made an indelible contribution in this battle. He shall be promoted to the fourth-rank general defending the country."

After hearing this, Zhang Yanmei's calm eyes moved, and a barely perceptible curve appeared on her tightly pursed lips. In her heart, she was sure that Donglin would win.

"..."

The next reward was to confer the title of colonel on Chen Li, Cao Zheng, Sun Shao, Yao Sheng, etc.

Li Zhao did not expect that the imperial edict announcing Youlan's victory would be read out in Liangzhou City.

Just this morning, he had written a letter to report the ownership of Liangzhou to His Majesty truthfully.

Of course, it also records one by one the battles in which Beiyan tried to unite with Xining to fight against Beiyan.

He wanted to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court, but he also knew that it would be difficult.

If the imperial court had a large number of powerful troops and generals, they would naturally be sent to the border first.

The imperial edict is complete.

"I thank you for your grace!" Ling Yunxiao bowed and accepted the order.

The same is true for the rest of the generals.

However, some of those who were rewarded no longer hear the good news of their promotion.

For example, Cao Zheng and Yao Sheng had already sacrificed their lives for their country in the fierce battle of Liangzhou.

After the imperial edict was delivered, the serious atmosphere among the crowd eased.

Li Zhao walked into Ling Yunxiao and handed the imperial edict back to him.

"General Ling, you can take the soldiers to rest and recuperate first. I will return to the court to report after completing my mission."

"Lord Li, please be careful on your return trip. To be on the safe side, I will personally send two generals to escort you on your return trip."

"In that case, thank you very much." Li Zhao was just asking for it. After the recent events, he was really scared.

He walked towards Zhang Yan.

Since the day he was saved by the two men, he had not yet truly thanked them, so he bowed deeply to Zhang Yan.

"Thank you, General Weiguo, for saving my life!"

Zhang Yan supported him with both hands: "Lord Li, you are too kind."

Li Zhao walked towards Jiang Yue again, bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life."

It was dark that day, and he was in a trance for a while. He had not taken a serious look at Jiang Yue. He only remembered the scene of the young boy guarding her with all his strength in the dark night, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

Now that I have examined her carefully, I have discovered that she is still a child.

Let the little boy admire him.

Jiang Yue: "Lord Li, it's my duty."

"The young boy is both intelligent and brave, a pillar of the country!" Li Zhao praised sincerely.

When he was praising, Ling Yunxiao, Zhang Yan, and Xia Yuanchen were standing beside him, and they all nodded secretly, thinking that his praise was right.

Jiang Yue has become so used to being praised that she is almost indifferent to it.

"Lord Li was threatened by the enemy general and asked you to frame the general for treason. When you were faced with severe torture, you remained firm and did not hesitate at all. This is really admirable!"

As Jiang Yue spoke, she clasped her fists towards Li Zhao.

Ling Yunxiao was listening nearby. Zhang Yan had already told him about everything that Li Zhao had gone through in the dark cell, and he also admired Li Zhao.

He knew that Lord Li's life was almost in danger.

He followed and clasped his fists.

For a moment, Li Zhao didn't know how to respond.

He smiled and clasped his fists in response.

Finally, he returned to the capital under the escort of a team of soldiers from the east.

After Li Zhao left,

Ling Yunxiao dismissed all the generals.

Then, he looked closely at Jiang Yue, Xia Yuanchen, and Zhang Yan.

"The three of you have made an invaluable contribution to the recovery of Liangzhou." Ling Yunxiao had suffered numerous casualties, so there weren't many generals he could trust to serve.

Now, these three people are his right-hand men.

Now, whenever there is any problem in the army, they will consult with these three people at the first opportunity.

"Beiyan and Xining want to join forces to attack our Donglin Kingdom. What we need to do now is to destroy the alliance between the two countries. Do you have any good countermeasures?"

Everyone knows that if the two countries really join forces, Donglin will be invincible and the consequences will be disastrous.

After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said:

"General, Beiyan's bargaining chip is my Liangzhou city, which has now returned to Donglin."

Jiang Yue: "Without Liangzhou, they still have other cities."

Ling Yunxiao agreed, he thought so too.

Zhang Yan: "But will Beiyan do this?"

In his eyes, Northern Yan would not give up even an inch of its land.

Xia Yuanchen: "Northern Yan is ambitious. What if their goal is to take over the whole world? Liangzhou can be used as bait, and the other cities can also be used as bait."

Jiang Yue: "What the young general said is absolutely right."

When Xia Yuanchen heard the voice, a smile appeared on his lips.

Hearing about the alliance between the two countries just now, he was a little upset. He finally calmed down, but now he is racking his brains to think of a solution.

Suddenly, an idea came to him and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know what Princess Xining looks like."

Ling Yunxiao: "Why, you want to marry her?"

Xia Yuanchen shook his head like a rattle.

"General Pingbei, his words are like a gentleman, his skills are like a god. General Weiguo, his stones are like jade, his pines are like emerald. General Jiang is extraordinary in both civil and military affairs, how can I be compared to him?"

Jiang Yue: "Why are you still mentioning me?"

Ling Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jiang Yue's words.

"He is not as good as General Zhenguan, who is brave and good at fighting, and his appearance is very popular."

Zhang Yan couldn't help but tease him when he heard this: "General, you are right. Young General, your idea is brilliant. If we can win the favor of Princess Xining, we will be halfway to victory."

Xia Yuanchen curled his lips and said, "The general has sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and the general who defends the country is handsome and elegant, but I can't compare to any of them." After saying this, he laughed and turned to look at Jiang Yue.

"Isn't that right, Jiang Yue?"

Jiang Yue pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to answer this question.

She glanced at the three of them.

"The Major General is brave, talented, and handsome. He is the best candidate."

As soon as she said this, Ling Yunxiao and Zhang Yan burst out laughing at the same time.

On the other hand, Xia Yuanchen…his lips were pursed into a straight line, but the feeling of being praised by Jiang Yue was quite good.

"Jiang Yue, the words you said are the most suitable for you." Xia Yuanchen pondered carefully.

"You are so brave and fearless. You are so young, but you have extraordinary courage."
